I would like to study the language because it was spoken by some of my ancestors.And I am fascinated by the origins of all languages and view the death of one as a great loss to the history of us all.

>why are you interested in Old Norse?


I study Old Norse because I am an epigrapher with specific interests in
Runes.

As an American English speaker, the amalgam of languages and root ideologies
is so extreme, that fundamental concepts of reality are lost to the masses
and left to medicine and mathematics.

I have also found spiritual enlightenment in their study.
